Aunt Sandy and Jaime,
I will miss all of my memories with Robbie! I enjoyed being cousins with him. He will surely be missed. He is now forever in the presence of Peyton, Uncle John (his Dad), my Dad (John Hepner) and so many other relatives and friends. I can't even begin to understand the pain and sadness. I love you both forever!
Love Always, Janeen (Hepner) Dunckley

After reading the article on Roberts passing, I felt compelled to express my sorrow for his family, even though I didn't know him personally. Thanks for sharing Robert and Peyton's photo; it was a poignant gesture for all.
